88.5FM WFCR, NPR News and Music for Western New England, is seeking submissions from local artists for the station’s 3rd Annual WFCR Artist Coffee Mug!
The limited-edition mug will be available to WFCR’s contributing listeners during a series of on-air fund drives from October 2008 through June 2009.
Submissions in all media; from collage, to pen and ink, to photography are welcome– as long as it translates well on a coffee mug! The winning design will be posted on our website and will also be described over the air during the pledge drive for our listeners.
The design chosen for the mug will be decided in-house at WFCR and the chosen artist will be notified the second week in October.
The deadline for submission is October 1, 2008.
Design Specifications:
• The printing space is 4 1/8 inches high and 8 5/8 inches wide. The image will wrap around the mug almost from handle to handle.• The artwork will be affixed to the mug from a paper decal and kiln fired so the artwork’s colors are preserved. This is a four color sublimation process.
• A caption such as “designed for WFCR by….. 2008” must be included. It can run along the edge of the artwork (within the printing space) or be incorporated into the design.
• We request that a design be exclusively made for WFCR and that we retain the original art for the station’s permanent collection.
Please mail your submission along with your name, address, email, phone number, and where you saw this opportunity listed to:
